<p>A perpendicular magnetic recording disk has a granular Co-based ferromagnetic alloy recording layer (RL) with oxides of a selected metal (Ta or Nb) and a reduced-thickness exchange-break layer (EBL) between the RL and the soft magnetic underlayer (SUL). A perpendicular magnetic recording system that includes the disk, the write head and the read head, has an improved ability to write to the RL because of the reduced-thickness EBL.</p> |
